In The Sun of this day appears a letter from his Royal Highness the Duke of SussEx, in which he formally announces his intention of resigning, in No vember next, the Presidency of the Royal Society. The public generally—and men of science, in parti cular—will deeply regret this retirement ; and still more will they regret to learn that it proceeds from the narrow means of his Royal Highness, whi c h pre vent him—we vote his own emphatic word-_;—" from doing the honours or the situation in a manner suited to my rank and the station I occupy in the country, or with advantage to the cha7acter and dignity of the establishment itself." In other words, the Duke's well-known liberality has involved him in difficulties, which compel him for a season—and we trust only for a brief season—to withdraw from Kensington into the more economical privacy of the country ; and to resign a situation, the dignity of which he feels cannot be efficiently maintained but at an ex penditure which he is no longer able to afford. The letter is penned throughout in a style remarkable for its feeling and candour, and will make its way to the hearts of all who know how to appreciate a gene rous and manly nature. Most earnestly do we hope that means may yet be found to enable his Royal Highness to pass the evening of his life in a manner becoming his rank. He has the strongest possible claims on the consideration of his countrymen, for he has stood their friend for many a long year through evil and through good report. He was a Reformer, when the very Mention of the word Reform wls almost enough to ostracise a man from the Courtly circles; and advocated in Parliament every measure which had reason and justice for its basis. Indeed his life has been one con tinued sacrifice to the interests of the people; for had it not been for his most unfashionable heresies on the subject of Catholic Emancipation, Reform, and those other Liberal measures which have agitated the country for the last thirty years and upwards, it is not to be doubted that he would have been quite as well off as any of his Royal brothers, and hare been in the receipt, like them, of large sums of public money. This is a point in his character which should not be lost sight of. On a general principle, we are no advocates for grants to Mem bers of the Royal Family, under the plausible pretext of maintaining them in becoming splen dour ; but the case of the Duke of Sussex is a peculiar one. While his brothers have received from time to time large additions to their income, he has enjoyed only the Parliamentary grant to the Royal Princes. Hence for years and years he has been struggling with pecuniary difficulties ; yet not a murmur—not a whisper of complaint or reproach have we heard from him. He has borne his trials in silence ; yet, though preserving a dignified reserve on this point, he has ever been, where the interests of the people were concerned, an active, stirring, energetic Liberal. There has been no silence—no reserve here, as the Parliamentary annals testify, which prove that his Royal Highness has, on all suitable occasions, boldly and eloquently spoken out on behalf of the people. We hope that early i n the next Session , Government will take his case into consideration, for it is not creditable —it is not just—that one of the most zealous Reformers of his day—and he too, a Member of the Royal Family, and as remarkable for his private, as for his public, worth—it is not just, we say, that such a man should, in the autumn of his life, be suffered to struggle with privations which he would never have known, had it not been for his dis interested efforts to promote the cause of rational freedom. The awful fate of the passengers on board the For- Jarshire steamer has naturally excited a great degree of alarm in the public mind. Even those who ha hitherto put unlimited confidence in the safety o steam vessels cannot fail to have that confidence greatly shaken by the circumstances attending this me lancholy affair which have already come to light. It appears, in the first place, that even before the steamer had got out. of the Humber, and while of course it was in still water, a leak was observed in one of the boilers. Now, what short of infatuation could have induced the master of the vessel to proceed on the voyage after this discovery ? Ought not common caution, to say nothing of the responsibility of having so many lives entrusted to his charge, to have dictated an im mediate return to Hull, to have the leak repaired ? But culpable as the conduct of the master—who has fallen a sacrifice to his own temerity—must be consi dered, he was not the only person to blame. The pro prietors of the Forfarshire must come in for a very large share of condemnation. They were well aware ,hat the boilers were defective, for it is stated that they had been " of late in a leaky state," and the steam had been seen " issuing out of them in various places." They had even undergone a certain degree of patching and tinkering at Hull, before this ill-managed vessel set out on her voyage northwards. Nay, it appears that so sensible were'the owners of the inefficiency of these boilers, that they had ordered materials for new ones to be shipped on board this very steamer, a quan tity of new boiler plates being found among the wreck on the rocks. Now what earthly excuse can they allege for thus risking, and as it happenel, throwing away the lives of so many persons? It is said that with fair weather the vessel might have made the voyage notwithstanding the leaky state of the boilers. Very possibly she might ; but vessels that coast the eastern shores of England and Scotland in the month of Sep tember must not calculate on fair weather ; they must be prepared to encounter storms, and if they are not so prepared—if there be any deficiency in their equipment —the owners are responsible for the consequences. In the present case it was the sacred duty of the owners, knowing, as they did, the state of the boilers, to have had them- replaced by new ones before they allowed the steamer to take another trip. It is, therefore, to their grasping and inhuman cupidity, in striving to squeeze the greatest possible quantity of work out of their old and unseaworthy materials, that this wholesale and lamentable loss of life is principally, if not entirely, to be attributed. We are afraid there is no means of visiting them with condign punishment. The only way, as the law at present stands, in which delinquency of this kind can be reached, is by laying a deodand on the vessel ; but here the vessel is lost, and the deodand laid on the wreck by the coroner's jury, must be levied, if levied at all, on the underwriters. The punishment thus falls upon the innocent while the guilty altogether escape. A legislative remedy has become absolutely necessary for this most serious evil : and surely it is not too much to expect that the Legislature should see that every possible precaution be taken by steam boat speculators to ensure the safety of the vast and daily increasing numbers of persons who adopt that mode of travelling. By the arrival of the packet-ship James at Ports mouth, on Saturday, we have received New York and Canada Papers—the latter to the 27th of August, and the former to the 2d inst. inclusive. The ❑ews which they bring, though not politically or commer cially important, is not wanting in interest, as may be gathered from a reference to the numerous extracts from them which will be found in another part of The Sun. In the Canadas all is tranquil. Lord DuRIIA?f continues to pursue the course which he adopted on landing in the Lower Province, without the slightest appearance of regard to the censure passed upon his erdinances by the British Parliament. In so acting the Noble Earl has dis played a degree of firm, steady self-possession, which we confess we had judged foreign to his cha racter. We were really apprehensive that his impe tuosity of temper would get the better of his judgment, on learning that his first acts as Governor-General were made the subject of a severe Parliamentary at tack ; and that in the first warmth of his feelings he might be tempted to fling up his commission, and leave the Canadas to shift for themselves. Fortu- 'lately we had under-rated the patriotism of the Noble Earl, who, having put his hand to the plough, dis dained to look back. The following account of the state of the " money market" in New York, for the four days previous to the sailing of the James for England, though not quite so favourable as might have been expected, is, upon the whole, rather encouraging than otherwise : MONEY MARKET, AUG. 28. , The business transacted at the Stock Exchange yesterday was limited, and the market closed heavily, with a downwar.l tendency. United States Bank closed at 123, Delaware and Hudson 832, Stonington Railroad 69, and Haarlem Rail- road 712. The liabilities of the bank of Old Town, situated at Orono Maine, and which we stated yesterday had probably failed, amount, it is estimated, to 65,000 dollars, including its debts to the Suffolk bank cf Boston, a part of which is secured by mortgage on real Estst - owned by t he bank. The amount of hills • in circulation, included of course in the above estimate, is said to be about 25,000 dollars. The failure is no doubt a bad one, as neatly all the capital• stock was held by irrespon sible brokers, who had recently obtained it. The State Bank of Illinois res um e d specie payments on the 3th instant. By the 'resent airangcments, the notes of the mother bank are redeemed in specie at the counter of the bank in Springfield, and the notes of each branch at the counter cf the branch from which they are issued. Wheat has advanced 12i, cents per bushel at Rochester within the last week, and is now in demand at Idol. 50c. No auction sales to-day worth reporting. MONEY MARKET, AUGUST 29.—The stock market of yes terday was characterised by the same want of animation which has prevailed during the last few days, and prices remain without any material variation. Advices received from Phila delphia state that money for the last week had been rather tight, the rate out of doors ruling at nine to ten per cent. per annum. The banks were acting with great modera tion and caution, though at the same time with all reasonable liberality. The import of specie at this port yesterday was very large, including a portion of the Neapolitan indemnity, to the amount of 660,000 f. in gold, and the Smithsonian bequest of 600,000 dollars in the same metal. The Toronto Patriot gives rather a deplorable account of the state of the present currency in Canada. Specie it states to be excessively scarce. The Bank of Upper Canada would not set the example of resuming specie payments, and the other banks will not until she does. Add to this the existence of a most worthless copper coinage, if coinage it can be called, which has become so depreciated in value, that instead of 120, you may buy in some places 200 of them for a paper dollar, and two of them will not weigh an American cent. MONEY MARKET, Ace. 30.—We have no change to report in the general appearance of the Stock-market, which con tinues heavy. No sales of United States Bank were made yesterday- 50 shares Manhattan Bank were taken at 127 which shows a falling off in price; Delaware and Hudso Canal Railroad CompanyC ompany closed at 84, buyers, 30 days ; Stoningto Company, 68 : Mohawk Railroad Company, 744 ; Paterson Railroad Company, 72 ; and Haarlem Railroad Com_ pany, 721. A good deal of speculation in the stock of Vicks burg Bank took place, about 700 shares having been sold chiefly on time, closing at 86 cash. Brandon money is taken less freely at 40 per cent. discount; Mississippi funds generally continue at 10 per cent. discount. It is reported that the Secretary of the Treasury has taken 500,000 dollars of the bonds of the Real Estate Bank of Arkansas. The particulars of the negociation have not transpired. The Shawneetown- Bank of Illinois has resumed specie payments. The Charleston market report of Saturday last states that the heavy rains which had been experienced during the week had materially affected the limited business of the season. Nothing bad been done in cotton. Sales of corn at 38c. to 95c. per bushel. In the expectation of supplies of new flour, holders were forcing off the old at 7 dols. 50 cents. to 8 dols. per barrel. The accounts from Poughkeepsie stase an ad vance in wools in that market of from 3c. to sc. per pound, with sales of 20,0001 b. at the advance. MONEY MARKET, AUGUST 31.—The tendency in Stocks is still downwards, and in some descriptions a very considerable decline in prices occurred yesterday. United States Bank closed at 1231, a falling off of per cent.; Delaware and H u d son C a h a l Company also de dined Paterson Railroad Company:, 14 ; Haarlem Rail road Company, 1 ; and Stonington Railroad Company, 2 per cent. Mississippi funds continue at 10 per cent, discount Ala bama at 31 discount We have copied from the German Papers, received this morning, a somewhat curious article on the sub- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1838. ject of the present relations between England and Russia, which our readers can scarcely fail to perceive are represented in a light as novel as • can well be imagined. The regeneration of Asia by Turkey, though put too seriously to be meant as a joke, be longs, properly speaking, to the Jos MILLER. cate gory of wise sayings. There is, however, much in the article to awaken the serious attention of this country, written, as it obviously is, by one well acquainted with the policy of the Russian Cabinet. As regards the independence of Egypt we adopt the writer's view of the real policy of England, though we know that our opinion upon this question is treated as a political heresy, both by the Government and the Press of England. The follow ing letter from Smyrna, which is likewise copied from a German journal, bears so strongly upon the tenour of the article which we are alluding to, that it ought to be read in conjunction with it. We have no means of knowing whether the statements which it contains be, or be not, authentic : " SMYRNA, Auo. 21.—According to the latest accounts re ceived from Bagdad, hostilities between the English and Per sians bad commenced at Bushire, and several not inconsidera ble actions had taken place, in which the Persian troops were defeated. The siege of Herat is believed to have been raised without the conclusion of a treaty of peace, so that the Schah seems to be threatened not only from the south-west, but at the same time from the north-east. " The former pretenders to the throne, the sons of the Schah's uncles, seem to bring forward their claims, which ap_ peared to lie dormant so long as England and Russia appa rently were agreed respecting . Persia. A conflict between Russian and English armies in Persia is therefore possible, and it is wholly owing to the circumspect policy of Redschid Pasha if it does not take place in the boundaries of the Otto man Empire. It cannot, however, be denied, that the politi cal relations become more and more entangled, and it is diffi cult to understand how this man, who alone is capable of solving these difficulties, and of conducting the whole to a result favourable to Turkey, should be removed from the scene, unless he should be able to serve the interest of the Porte when at a distance as well as if he were in Constanti nople. I must not omit to observe, that the Minister for Fo reign Affairs leaves powerful enemies in the capital, the head of whom appears to be old Chosrew Pasha, one of the most subtle men of the East, President of the Council of State. They will not lose the opportunity of venturing everything to overthrow the man who was perhaps destined to effect a com plete regeneration in the affairs of the Ottoman empire."

It was then reported that the new Ministers were neg,ociating a loan for five hundred millions of reals with the house of SAFONT and Co., assisted by foreign capitalists, of whom M.

The PORTE'S recognition of the Regal authority of Queen DONNA ISABELLA had given great satisfaction to the REGENT, who regarded it as a convincing proof of the great influence, as well as of th• friendship, of France and England. _ It will be seen by the extracts under the head " Spain," in another column, that ESPARTERO is about to gather fresh laurels before the campaign closes for the season.

The Queen of Greece arrived at Berne on the 17th inst , where her Majesty was received by her father, the Grand Duke of Oldel.hurg. The Milan Gazette states that the number of strangers who had art ived in that city to be present at the coronation of the Emperor had amounted to more than 60,000. The Queen of Spain, by a decree dated Aug. 25, raised the Count de Toreno to the dignity of grandee of Spain of the first class. The Count retains his former title, declining that of Duke or Marquis, to which his elevation gives him a claim. PARIS, SEPT. 21. -Our letters from the frontiers of Spain announce that the Royal head-quarters were at Elorrio on the 15th. General Maroto was on the same day at Durango, with his staff and part of his force. The Duke of Orleans arrived yesterday evening at nine o'cleck, from the camp at St. Onier.

Moderate arrivals of all kinds of British Grain and Flour were reported last week, and another considerable quantity of Foreign Wheat at the low duty. The trade was firm for most articles during the week at the previous Monday's prices. This morning the fresh supply of Wheat is not considerable, and the quality not so good as a fortnight back. Of other Grain there are limited • quantities fresh up. The millers readily purchase the few fine samples of new Wheat at Is. to 2s. per quarter advance on last Monday's terms ; other sorts of new, also the liberated Foreign, were firm in value, at last quotations. Barley meets a rather tardy demand, but main tains its value. Beans, both old and new, support the terms of this day se'nnight. Boiling Pease were all taken off at 2s. to 3s. per quarter advance. Grey Pease are also rather dearer. The demand for Oats continues fully equal to the supply, and previous prices are well maintained. There is a fair trade for Flour, and the rates remain as formerly reported. The duty on Foreign Wheat is expected to be 10s. Bd. on Thursday next. PRICES ON BOARD oiesHlP. Wheat, Red (old) 58s . 655.

TALLOW MARKET. P. Y. C. to-day is quiet, and prices are 525. 9d. to 535., on the spot and to arrive. The stock of P. Y. C. is about 10,000 casks. OIL MARKET. It sce ns probable that if good accounts of the catch at Davis' Straits had not been received, the high price of Tallow would have caused Oil to rise. As it is prices have not au upward tendency. Cod is quoted at 371., Pale Seal at 381. to 381. 10s., and at 251. to 301. 1,700 tuns of Oil have been cor fumed in this kingdom this year more than there were last COLONIAL - MARKETS. There is nothing doing to-day, but a good business is ex pected during the week, owing to a better feeling for purchas ing being in existence. For to-morrow we hare public sales of 1,700 bags Ceylon Coffee, and 1,100 bags Brazil. Of Sugar—Mauritius, 800 bags; Bengal, 633 bags; Barbadoes, 130 hhds. 100 barrels Jamaica Ginger, and 15 bags White Pepper. The Imports of Colonial Produce to-day were light, up to the time we went to press. NEWCASTLE CORN-MARKET, SEPT. 22. Our Farmers again brought a small supply of Wheat to Market to-day, but we had a good arrival coastwise, and the whole met a free sale at an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter on the prices of this day se'nnight. In Rye we can note no improvement, the demand being limited at last week's rates. Oats were in fair supply, and scarcely maintained late prices. Malt met little alteration, and to effect sales to any extent a decline of is per quarter had to be submitted to. In the ♦a lue of Barley or other Grain there was no material change. For Flour we had rather a better demand at our quotations. nets. - 0 1a . Wheat, Northumkerland 55,. 67s —s. r.li Nufslk and Suffolk...—. ....... .. 62s 63, . —s. —,. • -- Berwick and Scotch sBs.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 22, The improvement reported in our last week's market has since been fully confirmed, and we have bad a considerable business during the week at improving prices. In the agricultural districts we understand the prices of Wheat have undergone a further improvement, whilst the sup plies brought forward by the farmers are very moderate, even in those counties where harvest is completed. The import from Ireland is small ; but to Wakefield there is an arrival of 13,800 quarters of Wheat, chiefly foreign. At both that market and Liverpool, yesterday, considerable busi ness was done (particularly in Wheat) at Is. to 2s. advance upon last week's rates. The weather, with the exception of a few showers, has con tinued most favourable for harvest operations, which are pro gressing rapidly in the late districts of England, Ireland, and Scotland. Our Market to day is well attended, and we have a free sale for new English and good foreign Wheats at an improvement of 2.d. per bushel on the rates of last week. Flour in fair re quest at is. per sack higher. Oats are fully Id. and old Oat meal of good fresh quality, Is. per load dearer. New is scarce, and would bring 295. to 30s. per load. Beans rather more saleable at former rates in Malt but little doing. The question of the degree of productiveness of the Wheat crop is now one of great importance to the trade. From the reports hitherto received, it appears to yield badly in this county particularly, and to be much below the produce of late seasons. _ DERBY CORN MARKET, SETT. 21. The Derby Corn Market was well attended, sales brisk fcr new Wheat, which was in much better condition than last week. Old Wheat 68s. to 70s. ; new ditto, 655. to 665. ; Oats, 255. to 285.; Beans, 445. to 465. ; Barley, 31s. to 345. TO THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS OF ENGLAND.

Pull Onions, and let them dry in heaps, or lay them at once in dry store-rooms or sheds to ripen for winter stores. Continue sowing Salads, Onions for pulling in spring, Lettuce, &c. . . Blanche Endive, earth up Celery, and continue the opera tions in Kitchen Garden as before ; weeding, cleansing, and thinning the various crops of Spinach, Turnips, &c. Sow Cauliflowers ; they will only succeed others, but it is just possible they may go through the winter better, and make better heads; they w 11 not be so likely to button. Continue to take off and pot the layers of Carnations and Piceotees. If the store has not already been cleaned out, let the whole be washed and brushed with a lye of soft soap and warm water. Cleanliness is everything, and most important before the plants bo all arranged for the winter. Examine what green-house plants require to bo re-potted before the houses are filled for the winter; see well that all the fire-places, flues, &c., are in order. It is time to begin arranging the Tulips for planting; and those who are going t o commence growing should begin to think of buying. The best way is to apply to some respect able grower to make up a bed at your own price. Put litter round the stems and roots of Dahlias, to protect the crowns in case of frost. HYDE.—The trade in cotton mills is very brisk, and hands have full employment. Between five and six o'clock on Saturday evening a man employed in the repairs of the house No. 88, New -cut, Lambeth, fell from the scaffolding to the street, a height of thirty feet. Some persons who were passing at the time picked him up and conveyed him to a surgeon opposite. It appeared on examination th a t he had received no further in jury than the loss of thie3 teeth. VETERINARY OPERATIONS.—On the 15th of August last . , a cow, the property of Mr. Davis, Skibeden, was tapped for the dropsy, and 20 gallons of watery fluid taken from her, and on the 19th, the operation was repeated, and 45 gallons more taken away, making altogether the en ormous q uantity of 63 gallons, and reducing l,ur weight i -, 85P05.

(Before, Mr. CRAIG.) I PARISH OF ST. MARTIN IN 'OE FlELDS.—Sanauel Den, il o. N or ilumherland-street, was objected to b y the Tories. It p; peered froze; the statement of one of' ;,be parish officers, thi!. Mr. Bell was a' &.7 1 c. in the Post-office, anal that as he c not vote, he objected to vaying the shilling, and ther efore wished his name to be struck out of the list.— Expunged. er Several names were struck out consequence of fl to appearing to support them, and other case s were allow stand over, at the request of the agents on each side. Mr. CRAIG complained that no pains had been taken to bring up a single person on either side, by which considerable incom vonience was caused. William Cotton, 57, Charing-cross, was objected to by teed Liberals. It appeared from the evidence of a person nam Hawes, that Mr. Cotton is one of the Directors of the Pebeaa Life Insurance Company, and that there are thirteen othe!. Directors. They occupy one room at Charing-cross. a•year. The other part of the premises is occupied by the Plistnix Company, who rent it all, at 3001. a-year. The whole of the premises belong to the Pelican Company. Th e° was an alteration made in the building in September lest^ The business of the Pheenix Company had been previousir carried on at the back part of the same premises, 25, Spring gardens but they removed immediately from one to the other. He codd not say whether the room occupied by the Pelic an would be called a counting-house or an office. Mr. Cottou and the other Directors meet there sometimes to manage th e business. Mr. Cotton resides at Laytonstone. at 200 1 By Mr. CRAIG—The house belongs to the Pelican By pany, which consists of various other persons besides th e Directors. Mr. CRAIG—That is the point to which I wished to call th e attention of Mr. Score. Mr. Score—l was quite aware of it.—( Laughter. ) By Mr. Score—The premises are held by the Directosso as trustees for themselves and the other Proprietors. Vote expunged. William Davis, one of the Directors of the Ph ee nix C 0 0; pany, was also objected to. It was proved that they 00,11 P,, the premises above-mentioned at 3001 . a year , and that We' are 24 Directors. By Mr. TROTT-The business belongs to the Comparl: which is incorporated by Act of Parliament. There are to° re than 50 Shareholders. Mr. CRAIG said the question was whether this was an occ pation by the Directors, or whether the premises were tak en in the name of the Corporation of which they were officers., Mr. Score submitted that all be need p rove was, that ine Directors occupied as tenants. He had proved that they ec.. cupied, and that the receipt was given to them. Mr. CRAIG said, on the evidence before him, it the was D inic: sible to judge whether the premises were ta ken b y ir e tors or in the name of the Corporation. The case was directed to stand over, in order to afford titso for the production of further evidence. Mr. MYLNE proceeded with the list of the parish of st• James, but nothing of importance occurred. CORN LAWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN . 10 0 SIR,—As one among the robbed millions , I beg totend&e, my best thanks for your present services, in the cause ef sta te law agitation ; and at the same time to beg perm i s sion to do s in your columns, what I know to be the feelings of tberaisg to which I belong—the working people—on th is all-abs o P subject. les F, vac In the first plce, I must express my regret that a tesf on the Corn-laws a " are not all on the side of their adveetbeir for, if I mistake not, and as'l shall endeavour to slo w ,_!„b are opponents ground their main objections, on reasons we i ' c l ba le of very doubtful truth, and which, if plainly true , Wen• ation, little effect in raising the masses to that pitch of a pt vie which it is necessary to attain, to produce any effect. orn. '" i.nw s arguments which I see chiefly urged against th e C are these ; ' o nto 1. That our not taking the corn of foreign ers Prev their buying our manufactures. a thes e ' 2. That the higher price of our food, occasioned "/ to es laws, prevents our competing with Continental inanuiac. in foreign markets. rd e n' These I take to be the two arguments mainly' retie coot to arouse our manufacturing population to oppose the la% 01 system. This reasoning, however, I hold to be fallacions.ri • that, were it true, the working people have little intesis change of system. Besides, the two reasons are reel.Bl4 tent with each other, for if our home products of corn and meat are to become as cheap as on the Continent, a,,ratio, of things necessary to make the second argument ° P c i o ots of how is it likely that foreigners would send their pro coa l these articles for sale to us, which would be equally nee t bat to make the first argument of any avail. The truth 15 _ , 4 if the Corn-laws were repealed, w e should send less 000 manufactures to foreigners than we now do, but consul ° est of ourselves. What would then be saved in the lesser cow food, would be mainly sent in nt in better clothes, and othe t r be s et forts, to produce which more of our fellow-men °, to less to work. The cotton-weaver of Ma nchester, from y._ o f cost of his loaf, would be able to b u y from the cloth;tbs Yorkshire a decent coat for his n ow bare back, wi ll v for clothier of Yorkshire would send mo re fre q uentl y to Piheir chester for a new shirt—our industrious classes, out of pal savings from the less cost of food, thus becoming M il ' interchangers of each other's products. k in° Now, Sir, these are tangible benefits, which, as a man, I can easily understand, and are quite sufficient , °:.'";; ° go regard to any contests of opinion as to the effects on;itr-will trade, to impel me to exertion to get rid of 10 0, wh „l - fam oblige me to go without a new shirt, and no coat, he e ts e r, m onfr compelled to give to a rich Aristocrat landlord, in the . a c oma poly price of bread, that which would purchase me forts, and at the same time find more employme nt an wo rking saquent comforts for my f e llo a -men. But if th classes are to be told that their advantage e from - e ing peal of the Corn-laws, is to result from their so. t_w_ead, a then able to sell their manufactures to foreigners , _ a pow and to non-producers at home, at a less price than tnc e l te ho sell them, it is difficult to see the benefit. If w a g " the loaf' lower, in proportion to the lowering of the c ost of ere i s the as the second argument above noticed supposes, wher em ploYm_ oo 6 good ? Oh I but it is said there will be more though at less wages. Employment is doubtles!,is toe.: thing, but adequate remuneration fur it is better. Itrieg less, however, to combat this reasoning, for the low r salv e reasons that regulate the price of all other com price of food must increase the price of labour, fo. mo dit c_ ..
